In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest memories is playing piano at age 3 and half. I was captivated by how music mirrored nature’s beauty. One snowy afternoon, watching a snowflake’s delicate symmetry, I felt a profound connection between music’s harmony and nature’s rhythm.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bruce Brubaker, Glass Piano Daft Punk, Discovery Tricky, Maxinquaye (Deluxe Edition) Maxinquaye by Tricky for its dark, layered trip-hop; Discovery by Daft Punk for its groundbreaking blend of electronic and pop that feels timeless; and Glass Piano by Bruce Brubaker, whose minimalist interpretations bring calm and depth.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Driving to Mars” Driving to Mars captures the feeling of a thrilling journey through the unknown. Created for my boombox sound sculpture commissioned by DIOR, its electronic layers and rhythmic pulse evoke both solitude and anticipation, as if traveling toward mars.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The launching my HYPERSPACE sound sculpture complex at California’s Donum Estate—24K gold-coated, mirror-polish sculptures where my concept of Infinity Music interacts with the sculptures to create experience that shift with wind, light, and nature.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Creating sound sculptures in various parts of the world. I envision these as spaces where people can come together, exploring their connection to feelings, senses, and the universe, creating shared moments across different cultures.
